The photo session for the project "600 faces of Ełk for 600 years" has ended. On May 29, we invite you to the opening of the collage exhibition, which will be presented at the Holl Gallery of the Ełk Cultural Center. The main characters will be the inhabitants of our city.

600 faces of Ełk for 600 years is a unique project that is carried out as part of the celebrations of 600th anniversary of the city. Last week, in the Leszek Błażyński hall, a photo session took place, in which all willing residents of Ełk took part – residents, entrepreneurs or artists. These are the people we know and pass by on streets – our neighbours, friends, teachers, sellers – they create the unique character of Ełk.

The photographer was Piotr Baliński – Lens Master with 40 years of experience.

The final of this project will be a unique exhibition in which the leading characters will be residents of our city. On May 29, during the main celebrations of the 600th anniversary location of Ełk, we invite you to the opening of the collage exhibition, which will be presented in the Holl Gallery of the Ełk Cultural Center.
